Two things set this one apart. Firstly, we almost never see Kyanite rounds - it is unforgiving during cutting and this shape is rare. Secondly, and more interestingly, this stone has a deeper blue linear band of color that runs across it. While color zoning is not uncommon in Kyanite, such a well-defined and centered area certainly is; much more apparent in-hand than in the photos. Fascinating!
